stripping ubuntu, problem with removing GDM

cynicalpsycho · 12-28-2009, 06:15 PM

I recently decided I was gonna cut some of the crap out of my Ubuntu 9.10 installation.
So one of the first things I decided I was gonna do was remove GDM.
The only problem is once I did that Ubuntu throws up this ugly prompt asking if I wanted to go to low graphics mode, terminal, or 2 other options.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to make this ugly box go away, and instead boot directly into the terminal.

Hi.

Try:
$ sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove

Booting into CLI :

Please edit the text file /etc/X11/default-display-manager
.. line 1 ( There is only one line )

from : /usr/bin/gdm
to : false
